Qin Qianluo raised her hand and took the jade ring. A cool sensation touched her skin, as if it had drawn her thoughts into the icy world of this mysterious black jade.
She placed the ring in her palm, her slender fingers gently caressing its smooth, dark surface, feeling the unique warmth and texture of the jade, and quietly listened to Yao Guang's analysis.
The air inside seemed to freeze, with only the occasional sound of wind breaking the silence outside the window. The sound of the wind was like a distant sob, adding to the mystery and unease.
Qin Qianluo's gaze became deep and solemn, the image of the jade ring reflected in her deep eyes, and she quickly sorted through various clues in her mind.
He scrutinized every detail, as if trying to find the key thread in a tangled mess, and fell into deep thought.
It seems that the enemy we are facing this time is no ordinary person. The high level of martial arts and meticulous thinking displayed by the opponent are enough to put anyone who is not careful into a desperate situation.
Take the technique of concealing one's aura as an example; the other party can completely hide their aura from that of the county magistrate.
This requires not only profound skills, but also extremely precise control over the circulation of breath.
How could someone with such a way of doing things possibly lose this jade ring unintentionally?
This is clearly a meticulously planned scheme, but what is the real purpose behind it?
Is it a blatant provocation, a veiled hint, or something else entirely, a deeper game being played?
The mystery grew heavier in Qin Qianluo's heart, like dark clouds obscuring the sun, making it hard for her to breathe, yet it also stirred up her stubbornness and determination to find the truth.
At this moment, Yao Guang was also frowning, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead that shimmered faintly in the dim light.
Her eyes were full of focus and determination, and her mind kept replaying her past experiences, trying to grasp that faint clue.
The lingering scent on the jade ring, like a delicate yet resilient thread, pulled at her memories, making her feel as if she had experienced it somewhere before.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her, like a lightning bolt streaking across the darkness, instantly illuminating all the fog.
She suddenly remembered the black-clad man who had followed her master like a ghost in the shadows when they first went to the outskirts of the capital.
When she fought the man in black, she remembered his unique and subtle aura.
That aura was like a wisp of smoke in the cold night, elusive yet deeply imprinted in her memory.
At this moment, the residual aura on the jade ring was exactly the same as that on the man in black, with an extremely high degree of similarity, which made her instantly realize the connection between the two.
Yao Guang's eyes lit up instantly, like twinkling stars in the night sky, filled with excitement and anticipation.
Her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat. Unable to contain her emotions any longer, she quickly walked up to Qin Qianluo.
His voice trembled slightly with urgency: "Master, I have encountered this aura before, it is Yu Ying."
Her cheeks flushed slightly with excitement, and her breathing became rapid, as if she were standing on the edge of the truth, eager to unveil the mystery.
"Yu Ying?" Qin Qianluo's gaze was fixed on Yao Guang like a hawk's, sharp and focused.
Yao Guang's face was full of determination, and the firm light shining in her eyes was like a blazing flame, as if she were telling an undeniable fact.
These two words were like a sharp bolt of lightning, exploding in Qin Qianluo's heart, instantly causing waves of shock within her, and leaving her completely shaken.
What are Yu Ying's true intentions? Are their series of mysterious and interconnected actions aimed at themselves, or at the entire Tianxuan Dynasty?
In an instant, the already complex and tangled situation became even more unpredictable.
It was as if one had fallen into a bottomless maze shrouded in thick fog, leaving no way out.
Qin Qianluo was deeply shocked by Yu Ying's unimaginably vast power.
Like a heavy and oppressive gloom, it pressed mercilessly on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.
Such a powerful force could remain hidden in the shadows without a sound, like a giant beast lurking in the darkness, stirring up trouble and creating chaos right under everyone's noses.
What earth-shattering conspiracy lies hidden behind this? They have been lying in wait for so long, what plan are they plotting that could overthrow the entire Tianxuan Dynasty and change the world's格局 (geju, a concept encompassing overall situation, overall structure, and overall dynamics)?
All these unknown possibilities sent chills down Qin Qianluo's spine, and a strong sense of unease welled up in her heart.
However, knowing that Yu Ying was the mastermind behind everything gave her a glimmer of hope and direction, which made her feel a little relieved.
After all, having a clear goal gives us hope of solving these mysteries and getting out of this predicament.
Now, as long as we can find out this jade figure, all the mysteries and difficulties can be solved.
However, Yu Ying is elusive and acts with extreme mystery, like a ghost in the dark night, appearing and disappearing without a trace, making her difficult to fathom.
The elite troops under Qin Qianluo's command, along with the well-trained, shadowy, and ghostly Royal Shadow Guards.
Even the skilled and loyal bodyguards and secret agents around the officials—so many eyes and such a powerful force were mobilized all at once.
It was as if a huge net had been cast, yet not even the slightest clue could be found from the other side.
Every time it seems like we're about to touch the edge of the truth and unveil the mystery, we always fall short at the last moment.
